Fun with feminist Flickr


Thoughts?

For some more feminist fodder, check out this and this. (I'm going to post on it shortly, but I bet you can already guess where I stand.)

that looks like it could even be a real ad...that they would try to play off as "witty" or something

That's awesome.

Do women remove pubic hairs because men like it? I am the only man out there who thinks hairless ladyparts are weird and creepy?

I'm not a man but I definitely agree with the weird & creepy sentiment...call me crazy but I'd like the lady parts I encounter to look post-pubescent.

I agree with Moxie Hart on this one.

Dude, that poster was totally from this display the feminist club at my school put up!

Personaly I like them neatly trimmed! I agree with Heraclitus.

Heraclitus: you're not the only one. I, too, (46 yr-old male) find the "shaved" look to be creepy. Nothing against trimming, but not too much. It makes a grown woman look like a young girl below the waist. I read a comment once, by a woman (salon.com?), who pointed out that shaving "down there" is a) a renunciation of maturity and b) an attempt to achieve a futuristic, evolutionary ideal. We have been losing body hair as we evolve. Perhaps shavers are out of touch with their inner animal.

It's also true that pubic hair functions as a lubricant. I prefer the feel of an unshaved region when I'm rubbing belly buttons with my lady. It feels better. No chafing.

Isn't this just herd mentality at play? Who decides that hair at point A is unsightly, but point B is ok? Body hair is completely natural.
